This table lists the records for the largest tournament for every Smash game of each year.
Note: Due to a lack of verifiable data, records from 2003 and earlier remain unclear, so those years are excluded from this list.

Record progression[edit]
|
This article or section is incomplete. You can help SmashWiki by expanding or finishing it. The editor who added this tag elaborates: All Smash games besides Melee and Ultimate have important early record progression missing, record holders with less than 100 entrants are still important to document.
|
Overall[edit]
This table lists the historical timeline of the records for the largest Smash tournament of all time overall.
Note: Due to a lack of verifiable data, records from 2003 and earlier remain unclear. Notably, there are claims that IVGF NorthWest Regionals had 151 entrants, which would have made it the largest Smash tournament until MELEE-FC3, but due to the lack of definitive sources to verify that number, it is excluded from this list. Tournament Go 4 and Tournament Go 5 could have each also possibly held the record for largest Smash tournament in their time with their purported entrant count of up to around 90, but they remain similarly excluded from this list for their exact attendance being unverifiable.

PPMD |
First tournament to reach 1,000 entrants, and, since EVO 2013, the only non-EVO tournament to ever hold the record as the largest Smash tournament overall. However, due to the tournament's venue change, a significant number of players are suspected to have been unable to show up to the new venue. Thus, based on actual attendance, it is disputable whether Apex 2015 can be considered as holding the title of the largest Smash tournament of all time. It would also break the record for the largest tournament in the most Smash games at three: Smash 64, Melee, and Smash Wii U.

Due to the tournament's venue change, a significant number of players are suspected to have been unable to show up to the new venue, and Smash 64 had 68 DQs. Thus, based on actual attendance, it is disputable whether Apex 2015 can be considered as holding the title of the largest Smash 64 tournament of all time. It would also break the record for the largest tournament in the most Smash games at three: Smash 64, Melee, and Smash Wii U.

This table lists the historical timeline of the records for the largest Melee tournament of all time.
Note: Due to a lack of verifiable data, records from 2003 and earlier remain unclear. Notably, there are claims that IVGF NorthWest Regionals had 151 entrants, which would have made it the largest Melee tournament until MELEE-FC3, but due to the lack of definitive sources to verify that number, it is excluded from this list. Tournament Go 4 and Tournament Go 5 could have each also possibly held the record for largest Melee tournament in their time with their purported entrant count of up to around 90, but they remain similarly excluded from this list for their exact attendance being unverifiable.

However, due to the tournament's venue change, a significant number of players are suspected to have been unable to show up to the new venue. Thus, based on actual attendance, it is disputable whether Apex 2015 can be considered as holding the title of the largest Melee tournament of all time.

Fastest to beat the record for the largest Smash 4 tournament at just 13 days after Final Battle. Due to the tournament's venue change, a significant number of players are suspected to have been unable to show up to the new venue, and Smash 4 had 103 DQs. If it was the largest tournament in both Smash 64 and Melee, it would break the record for the largest tournament in the most Smash games at three: Smash 64, Melee, and Smash Wii U. It would also have more than triple the attendants than Final Battle. It was the largest tournament before DLC fighters were added.
